Hi Nadav,

first: a subject would be nice ;)

Quoted 8 lines

I am having some problems with recent kernels. The SIS DRI module since 2.4.18 through 2.4.20 will not compile ^H ^H ^H Link properly. The Error I get is undefined reference to sis_free() and sis_malloc(). I believe it has to do with the dependencies or make file linking with a missing .o file. The problem occures whenever I try to compile the module into the kernel ( [*] sis ).
when I try to compile it as a module it fails when I go through "make modules_install" with the same error.

that problem is known for a long time now and has been often discussed but never got a fix into mainstream. Use this.

The patch does 2 simple things.

1. If you select SiS DRI statically it selects SiS Framebuffer also statically
2. Same as above for module.

ciao, Marc
